Hey crew- it's been some time since I posted but wanted to share this with anyone interested. After discussions with a colleague, I posted some examples of different mic techniques on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/evinger Both mono and stereo examples are available. So grab your headphones...

For those of you who own a real piano, I was wondering if you could tell me the height from the floor to the white keys. I'm trying to lower my keyboard stand so it is close to the typical height of a real piano. Thanks, Rez

Well, this looks promising: http://news.harmony-central.com/Newp/2007/Avant-Electronics-Avantone-Microphone.html Anyone have any experience with Avant? The shock mounts and shells look identical to some of the Peluso mics: http://www.pelusomicrophonelab.com/ I don't know what Avants have...

I finally got a chance last night to pick up a copy of this new DVD: Jojo Mayer: Secret Weapons for the Modern Drummer http://www.hudsonmusic.com/products/mayer_secret-weapons.html I only had time to watch the first 1/2 hour so far but I'll tell you this: It's probably one of the most...

Dudes!!! You gotta check out this new SSL shed based on Peter Gabriel's spot: http://www.gearwire.com/media/ssl-shed-of-your-dreams.mov http://www.gearwire.com/ssl-shed-of-your-dreams.html How many of you would like to have something like this? Cheers, Rez

During a break from some session work last week we got into a long discussion about recording snare drums. It was a group engineers and drummers. I figured I’d pass along some of the things we talked about: Tuning- we all had different ideas about tuning – some like a tight bottom head and...

http://www.drummerworld.com/Videos/rolandpeilflogs.html I'm not a huge fan of electronic music but sometimes I'll practice with this type of music instead of a click track b/c it has a tight "four on the floor" and interesting syncopation. Then I saw this video above and I'd really like to...

On the back of the RME Fireface 800 there are two ADAT I/Os. I have one port connected to my synth. I'm trying to decide what to use the other ADAT I/O for. I was hoping to find maybe a stereo or four channel device so I can route some outboard gear. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Rez

I normally set up left handed and all the other drummers I know set up righty, so I finally decided to set up the kit more symmetrically. It took some time getting used to but it's worth it - dual slave pedal, two hats, two rides two floor toms, etc. I'm still tweaking but I'm getting close...

I bought a pair of FMR RNCs a while back and leant one to a friend. He fell in love with it and I figured I'd let him keep that and just buy a new one. Then I got to thinking about the RNLA, so I'd have two different tools to choose from. So if you had a choice, would you rather have a pair...

PhilGood said there should be a thread about this - so here goes- a thread dedicated to "the importance of and techniques of room mics" Lemme get things started: The ROOM- is one of the most important factors of your over all drum sound. There are a myriad techniques for recording drums but...

I was tuning the kit yesterday and decided to give the snare that "bohnam" sound. So I tuned the bottom head all the way up to a "G". (392kHz?) This tuning got me VERY close. I'm still working out the tension of the top head (single ply coated), but I know I'm in the ball park. The snare really...

I know there are a ton of threads on this topic but here's a twist- this artist uses an amp which is a BIG part of his sound. He brought in this tiny little Kustom amp, but I put him through a modded Blues Jr. which was exactly the sound he was going for. Used a gobo between his vocal mic and...

How much would you expect to pay for a used JC-120? It's an older model (maybe 80s or early 90s?) and is in great condition. It sounds better and seems better built than the new ones for some reason. So how much is it worth in US dollars? Tnx, Rez
